This book connects the work of US private foundations, the US government,
and Brazilian intellectuals to explore how they worked collaboratively to
address racial disparities in Brazil during the Cold War. It reveals not only
how anti-racism was promoted during this period, shaping the political and
academic agenda, but also the importance of American foundations, espe-
cially the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, in the process.
Drawing on a vast array of archival and published sources from Brazil,
the United States, and around the world, the book investigates the making
of transnational connections and networks that sought to respond to the
“race problem”, seen as an increasingly dangerous threat to the liberal inter-
national order.
This book is especially relevant to the areas of Race Studies, Social
Sciences, Latin-American Studies, Political Science and History, particu-
larly the History of Sociology and Anthropology, as well as to studies about
the role of American foundations in the Cold War period. It will also be
of interest to activists, social scientists, economists, historians, journalists,
NGOs, and INGOs.
